“Customer service non existent , ordered some jeans online supposed to be slim fit but looked like a pair of flares. Phoned someone in the office to see if the 14 day return still applies as obviously the shops are closed and couldn't return there , so had to take to post office to send back in tome for a refund at a cost to me of £9.00 . I phoned customer service to see if i would be refunded fo postage as its not my fault I couldn't take back to shop to be told they don't regund postage if the iyems aren't damaged or wrongly sent . Certainly will notbe using this shop again and will warn other freinds and family not to either”

“Matalan cares more about making money than their employees health and wellfare”

“Unprofessional with no customer service or care. After endless trying to get sense from those clearly lacking some, I finally was advised someone would be contacting me. However sadly yet again they’d misunderstood what was required. So with that I went back to them. I commented that someone had remarked that if they didn’t respond they’d in fact go to the store and damage stock items. I advised that I wouldn’t myself do something like that. Now from that I’ve been told that as I’ve implied or made a threat as far as Matalan are concerned the previous horrific service by Matalan is no longer a matter they’ll look into. You couldn’t make this rubbish up. Just a dinosaur in the retail world, and as such I look forward to their extinction.”

“Visited at quiet time on a Friday morning. One worker on till whilst another stood chatting to them. We stood in queue whilst they finished their chat. Appalling customer service. Think some training is required”

“Shocking experience with Head Office customer services. Even store staff exasperated by the inability of Head Office to ratify store decision. Seem to take an approach of "we don't believe you", so let's start from there. Absolutely clueless how to deal with customers. Head of their customers services seriously needs to understand the importance of people skills.”

“Terrible experience! Dishonest and disrespectful towards customers. Don’t pay attention While working at till. The employees not trained how to deal with customers. I have been cheated recently by an employee on the till who didn’t returned my back. She kept talking with her colleagues while I was paying in cash and didn’t return the right amount of money back. She started arguing that she received £2.20 less than that was actually paid. She wasted my precious time in arguing and investigating. The manager investigating the camera for the recording but said that they couldn’t find the evidence though it’s clear in recording that u paid the full money I claimed. The only cause for all this dispute was the ignorance of the worker at till who was not attending the customer carefully and she didn’t focussed busy talking with her colleague. She didn’t count the total money paid to her and refused to give back the right amount due. It was my first time shopping at Matalan and it was terrible experience at Slough branch.”

“I ordered online to be delivered to my local Blackburn store, the estimated delivery was 3-5 days. Needless to say I did not receive any contact from them. I called into the store to check if it had actually arrived. I was greeted by the most aggressive female store supervisor, who as I arrived was speaking to a member of her staff in a rude and aggressive manner. She told me that the item had not arrived and on three occasions tried to grab my mobile from me to view the email from Matalan. Completely unacceptable. I was then shocked to see that the item I had ordered were on display a d for sale in the store. The rude supervisor told me that I couldn't take one of these items and could not cancel the order until it arrived in the store. Tried to contact Matalan with no response I will never shop in a Matalan store or on line. Terrible service from both.”

“Online they are rubbish, aided and abetted by DPD Ordered - nothing happens, 5 days later an mail lands saying they have sent the order, and I'll get a mail after that and a text to say when it's in the store to collect. Nothing happens. I ring up "we'll open an investigation" Nothing happens. I ring again "It's been lost" they say "re-order" "Really???" I say "We'll send you a 20% discount voucher as an apology" Great, except their website doesn't recognise the voucher. So I drive to the store, pick an alternative suit, explain whats happened to the manageress who apologies, and gives me a 20% discount. In short, on-line they are rubbish, in the shop, helpful.”

“Not an Online Company you can trust Of the two orders placed on line, neither have been delivered when they said they would be. The first order had a couple of items missing, however they were on the delivery note. This left me without the items I had paid for and no way to prove it didn’t receive them. A call to customer services didn’t help, so I had to cover the cost. Fast forward a couple of years and I have placed another order (I had forgotten my previous experience) for one item and has not been delivered. it’s in a black hole, no one knows where it is. A refund (in the form of gift cards) is only given when you return the goods that you have ordered. The cost of the items falls well below the cost of recovery through the court. The only real course of action is not to deal with them at all. If you do decide to place an order online, do it on the basis that you may not end up with the goods and out of pocket. Do not place an order believing that you will receive what you have paid for. It is obvious that Matalan do not have the necessary resources to provide an online service.”

“I asked in the Macclesfield store when purchasing if I could return briefs if the matching bras did not fit and was told yes as long as labels, hangers still attached. The following day I returned the items to be told I had been given the wrong information and they were none returnable. I would not have bought if I had been given the correct information at the time of purchase! The Supervisor then found it very funny when I asked for his name and told me his name was Bob when actually it was Ash. Very poor!”

“ordered a few joggers/sweatpants from there online store and everything went fantastic, waited a few days for confirmation regarding items sent to local store for collection. received email with my order number etc and 4 days later picked my package up. I can not fault anything wrong with matalan or its services. my advise to anybody that wants there items quicker is go in store and buy as with anything you buy online can be sold out within minutes.”

“Bait and switch online scammers. When you place an order, they tell you it'll be sent in a few days. Then, days later they say they are low on stock and it will be a further delay. When you place an online order, expect to wait WEEKS for it to arrive. Or better yet, order from somewhere else.”
